The Men Who Stare At Goats Review

The Men Who Stare At Goats Review

Seven out of ten times, I’m going to come out enjoying a film that operates on its own terms. It’s the first and best thing I can say about Michael Mann, which just adds to my fanboy nature when it comes to his work. As a more recent example, the Coen Brothers’ A Serious Man [...]

As a St. Louis denizen, all I knew a few months ago about Jason Reitman’s new George Clooney film Up in the Air was that the filming process congested my nearest airport (and that several of my classmates wound up being extras!).
Now, thanks to /Film and the wonder of media embeds, we can get a [...]

The Men Who Stare at Goats Trailer

With a great trailer and an even better cast, Grant Heslov’s The Men Who Stare at Goats has hooked me; it’s an instant must-see. You may remember Heslov as a skinny nerdy character actor from what feels like a thousand films (he was in Congo and Dante’s Peak, just to name some off the top of my head). [...]
